"dean 5 string bass"

Overall:
Got this bass about 2 mo. ago. came new in the box. no damage from shipping. Researched this bass for about a year. Most people where satisfied with it. And I am too. Great sound for the price. A bit big. But the sound is big to. I have no trouble in a acoustic setting.Clear clean sounds. Neck is straight. Some fret buzz. Replaced the strings. Put on a set of DR Phosphor-Bronze. Wow like a different bass.That stopped most of the fret buzz to. They could improve the electric pickup. But I bought it for the acoustics. You can replace it for better pickup it. It plays well and easy. Not the best 5 string out there. But for the price i haven't found a better bass yet.
